Collector interest

The Amazing Spider-Man, published by LJN in Europe, typifies the wave of LJN superhero licences in the early Game Boy era. The game itself aged poorly, but its PAL version pairs a narrow distribution with the lasting demand around Spider-Man, hence a high sealed price for a mediocre title. The interest comes from the LJN name and the character far more than the gameplay.
